councils are divided as follows: Se
lect council, 11 Republicans, 10 Dem

When Mr. Sanderson announced the

cratic candidate wns named by Mr.
Manley and Mr. Flanagan. The latter
took occasion to make the only speech
during tho nominating period.
Mr. William?,. Republican of select
council, voted for the Democratic can
didate! on account of a personal differ
ence with Mr. Phillips, but the loss of
that vote was balanced by the voting
of Mr. Robinson, Mr. Roche, Mr. Mc

branch, and Mr. Gllroy and Mr. Nealis,
of the common council, all Democrats,
who cast their votes with the Republi

ald the common council branch by the
same vote. It was a strict party vote,
with one exception, Mr. Robinson Join

ASSESSMENT ATTACKED.
Joseph J, Jcrmyn Asks for an Injunc
tion to Restrain tltc Collection
of Taxes on It. . .
Joseph J. Jerm n yesterday began
proceedings In equity ogulnst ,G. S.
Fowler, William Dawson and Christ
Flckus, mcinbei-M of the board of city
assessors, arid 'Horn'tln ' T. Fellows,
James J. Mnnley, William J. Thomns,
John E. Regan nud Joseph Oliver,
members of the board of revision und
appeal, with a view to testing tho
legality of the assessment for city
purpoqes recently made at the Instance
of the boatd of appeals.
Mr. Jcrmyn Is the owner of certain
property on Pcnn and Fianklln ave
nues which were assessed at the legu
lar triennial assessment In 1893 for
511,000. This vuluatlon wns raised by
the recent assessment to $14, SCO. It Is
held that tilt- vnluntlon l'xed In 1S35
cannot bo changed until the trl-cnnlal
assessment In 1S9S lu made. It Is spe
cifically set forth that the assessment
Is Illegal for these reason?.
The attempt to authorlzo the board of
lcvMon of taxes and appeals to order a
new assessment Is an unlawful delegation
of legls-latlvn power.
The act of Maj 23, 1S93, under which this
assessments purports to have hcen'made.
Is local und special legislation forbidden
by tho constitution, in that it allows dif
ferent results lu different cities ot 'ho
same class.
Tho board of revision of taxes nnd np
pia's, so far as It attempts to exercise leg
Matlve functions In ordering a new as
sessment for 1S97, Is u municipal commis
sion forblddon by section 20 ot Article 3
of tho constltuton of this commonwealth.
Legislation In regard to triennial as
sessment Is not a subject necullarly per
taining to cities, and the aforesaid Act of
May 23d, 1", so far as It piescribes pro
tslons pei tabling thereto nnd applying
only to thlid class cities, Is not a general
law, and Is In violation of Section 1 of Ar
ticle 9 of tho constitution, which pro
vides that all taxes shall bo levied and
collected under general laws,
Mr. Jermyn therefore asked for an
Injunction restraining the defendants
from levylnir and collecting from him
any taxes on the excess of vuluatlon
over that fixed by the triennial assess
ment ot 1S93. A preliminary Injunction
was granted by Judge Gunster nnd
made returnable next Monday.

claimed both by William Barrett and
P. C. Walsh.
The matter was brought to court In
the shape of Injunction proceedings In
stituted by -tha .Burke-Bairett board to

Burns represent tho plaintiffs nnd
Messrs. Kelly and O'Malley the de

that as the title to ofllce Is Involved,
quo warranto nnd not equity Is the
proper proceeding.

1 hope for some future opportunity of

(Signed) Sam Sloan.
To F. W. Pcarsall, Secretary.
Mr. Sloan expressed his interest In the
association.
S. M. Bard, stale secretary of the as
sociation, and G. A. Wai burton, secre
tary of the New Yoik association, were
present; also J. 11. McKlnley, whose
artldllc tenor slnulns has been heard
betore In this city. The attendance- was
something remarkable and Indicates
that the association'!, effort for a more
commodious building is not amihS.
Every chair in the hall was taken and
the ovciflow reached Inty the hall.
COMMITTEE IN CHARGE.
The nfinir was In charge of a com
mittee of management as follows: J.
R. Troch, chairman: William Frlnk,
D. J. Whiteford, A. II. Masters, E. M.
Fiancls. E. K. Crolhamel, C. W. Dunn.

son, George G. Many, E. W. Pear
sail, secretary; W. A. Herri , as-dstunt
secretary; II. M. Brewer, assistant sec
retary. Bauer's orchestra opened tho evening
with an overture followed by the annl-
versaiy hymn, a number of soulful
verses wiltten for tho occasion by Mr.
Wai burton and sung to the time of
"Duke Street." Rev. C. E. Robinson,
D. D., pastor ot the Second Presbyte
rian church, led in prayer, In which ho
called for blessing on tho future work
ot the association. Mr. McKlnley then
sang "Hozannn. " He was compelled
to give n second selection, "The Un
seen Kingdom," a pathetic ballad. Mr.
McKlnley -nfterward sang "The Little
Sliver Ring," another pietty ballad.
His singing was dellghtfl. He was
accompanied en the piano by Mrs. Mc
Klnley. Secretary F. W. Pcarsall read his re
pot t, riven below In full, and was ap
plauded by the audience. The oiches
tr.a furnished another number and S.
M. Bard, ot Harrlsburg, made nn ad
dress on the clllclency of the. Individual
effort In the work, meaning that not
alono In fine buildings, etc., but In the
men,ln the association does the chaiees
for "success lie. . Mr. Warburton then
mado a very entertaining address. Ills
opening vein was humorous, but the
humor was nicely used to effect ns
an Illustration for his seilous talk. His
main Idea, which speaks for Itself, was:
"The association lepresents among
railroad men as elsewhere, an all
round man1fooiK"fftJifItJfti)ii!rij Ms ns
much the natural pioduct of the asso
ciation as silk ls,UiB.)'bdact.ofsa silk

SANG: THE DOXOLOGY. .
The celebi utlon ilosed with the. sing
ing of the Dology. The UtU' ax
lllary of tho association served refresh
ments, Ice cream, cake and drinkables.
Secretary F. W. Pears-all's report was
In part as follows:
It becomes again necessary.joipvlew
thu work dono by the association, to
make comparisons and hold tho record
of a year's work .iul for Judgmeau The
history of thd 3eii ykhow&'tfiutiflUial Is
encouraging. Not, however, along tho
Hues of material tnctease, for that Is out
of tho question iwlong; as tho.asoociatlon
occupies the present building.' In' my last
annual report 1 said "Thu need of our
work la pre-eminently a new hiilld'tig.
Tho work has lauffeied during thl past
year becauno of tho poor accommodations
und unless Im.nedlnto aid Is given, much
that has btcn gained In tho yus,t two
years will bo lost." Tho prophety of u
year ago has become history, nlthough
tir.- falling off has not been ns great as
might have been expected. Tho member
ship fell from SS2 to 3.'4; the nuniber ot
baths furnished fiom 5.1S2 to 4,224; tho
cliculatlon of tho library from 1,531 to
1.15S.
' Many of tho rn'lrond men weio keenly
disappointed at tho failure of tho con
ttlbuttng company to mako an appropria
tion toward tho now building and re
fused lo renow their membership on that
account. In view of tho continued hard
times, howeVer', tho men ore showHii; a
spirit of moderation und the 'feeling in
growing that tho company will act when
It Is able,
Tho attendance at tho building shows a
sUzht Increaso over last year, tho aver
uge attendance being week days, 041; Sun
riuva. 311.

-rZ-' -t
Tho entertainments and members' ral
lies continued to be n source ot social en
joyment for the members and their fami
lies during the past winter. The class In
nrlthmetlo nnd penmanship made excel
lent progress under the leadership of Mr.
Glover, the total attendance nt tho nes
slons being 30(3 agnlnst 219 Inst ycnr, Tho
failure of our effort to organise a clKsfl In
ncchnnlcal draughting lust fall wan nno
of tho disappointments of the year. Tho
rellgloua work h"H been most encourag
ing. Tho regular meetings haVo been
conducted successfully nnd with good re
sults, but the best work has been dono
by tho Yokefellows' band.
Tho building nnd furnishing fund has
nt present $1,972. IJ In tho First National
bank an an Interest bearing deposit, nnd
$1,05? In outstanding pledges,
Tho UBSoclntlon Is Indebted to tho gen

helped to make the concert a success, be

Mr. Browne's stead,
THE BEST YEAR.
In closing I would say that the past
year luW been tho best year for tho as
sociat'on slnco I came to Seranton as
secretary. Fur all these blessbigs wo le
turn most hearty thanks to God nnd as
cribe to Him ull the praise. To Him also
wo look to supply our needs, who prom

PANIC SEEMED CERTAIN.
Kerosene Oil Stovo Caused Trouble
in Dun in on; Last Night.
Cool heads prevented what might
have been a serious panic In Boyle's
hall, Dunmore, last night. An enter
tainment was being given by tho Rose
Hud Dium corps and the hall contained
about 200 persons', many of whom were
children.
In the rcur of tho hall Is a room
used by the Loyal Legion ns a reading
room nnd in this a kerosene oil stove
Is used for heating purposes. In some
unexplained way that stove shot out
tongues of Ilame last night which com
municated to the surrounding Inllam
mnble material.
Smoke almost Instantly found Its way
Into the hall where the entertainment
was being held, someone shouted lire
nnd then a dash wcs made for the exit
by a number of those In the audience.
Some of the more ccol headed ones
shouted to the excited persons and
commanded them to sit down nnd after
n few minutes order was restored.
In the meantime the stove that had
caused the excitement hud been thrown
through a window and the train of lire
that It left after It was extinguished.
The entertainment wa pi oceeded with
but a great deal of smoke remalnod In
the hall all evening to annoy the audi
ence and remind It of the narrow es
cape It had.
